After what happened to Meigu, Fang Fangyi cherishes the present life even more. Apart from practicing martial arts every day, he travels between Luoxue Villa and the harem, accompanying Situ Xue and Zhao Lingying.

There are no major affairs in the country, and the emperor has not been in court for a long time.Today the emperor issued an edict, tomorrow morning morning, and the house needs to go to court.In charge of Dongchang, Fangfangyi is relatively well-informed, and knows that tomorrow morning must be related to the incident of Mongolian Ida raising troops to invade the country.

The spies in Datong received news that Alda, the leader of the Mongolian right-wing, suddenly led troops to invade the country and was blocked by the governor of Datong from the border of Ming Dynasty, but no large-scale battle took place.

In the court hall, after the officials kowtowed.Lu Fang read out the memorial that Wang Chonggu, governor of Xuanfu Datong, rushed to the capital eight hundred miles away. The memorial detailed the strength of Alda's troops and the reasons for the violation.

For some unknown reason, half a month ago, Han Naji, the son of Tiebei Taiji, the third son of Alda, suddenly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty at Baihubao with his family and his warriors, and then Alda claimed to lead an army of [-] to attack Datong. .Wang Chonggu, Governor of Xuanfu Datong, announced the emperor's decision.

After the memorial was read, the ministers below had already started whispering. Zhu Zaihou sat high on the dragon chair, looked down at the many ministers, and acquiesced to the ministers' discussions.

The ministers whispered to each other, Zhang Juzheng was living in the crowd, with his hands folded, he secretly looked at the emperor's expression, his face was calm.

The voices of the ministers' discussions gradually subsided, and each stood up. At this moment, Zhang Juzhengqiang stepped forward in front of Gao Gong and Xu Jie, "I want to play the emperor, and I have something to say."

"What's Zhang Aiqing's opinion on this matter?"

Seeing that it was Zhang Juzheng who spoke instead of Gao Gong or Xu Jie, Zhu Zaihou's face beamed with joy.In the past, in the imperial court, whenever matters were discussed, the officials would follow Gao and Xu Ma's lead, and acted on the faces of the two, which made Zhu Zaihou very uncomfortable, and always felt that his majesty as the emperor was violated.

"Reporting to the emperor, I think it's useless to figure out the matter. It's too early to discuss whether it's a battle or a monk. We should find out the matter before making a decision."

"Well, good, let's go on."

Seeing the emperor's expression of joy, Zhang Juzheng continued: "Since Your Majesty came to the throne, the world has been peaceful, the people have been stable, and the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty have been flourishing. My Ming Dynasty doesn't care about a small Mongolian tribe at all. Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous. Once When the war starts, the lives will be ruined, and it will be detrimental to the people and the world."

Zhang Juzheng flattered the emperor a few times, Zhu Zaihou's face became more joyful, "Then how should we deal with this matter according to Zhang Aiqing's intention?"

"Your majesty, I think the most important thing right now is to find Han Naji and find out what happened, so that we can make a decision. I am willing to serve the emperor on this matter."

"Well, I will leave this matter to you." Zhu Zaihou nodded, and then said, "Fang Aiqing, your Dongchang will assist in the investigation of this matter, and you must find the whereabouts of that Hannaji."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to find out the whereabouts of Han Naji."

Since Zhu Zaihou succeeded to the throne, he has worked hard to govern, and the whole dynasty has shown signs of revival.But gradually Zhu Zaihou became more and more attached to the harem and ignored political affairs.After going to court for a while, he felt tired.Following Lu Fang's sound of retreating, the officials retreated.

As soon as he left the main hall, Gao Gong smiled from a distance, cupped his hands at Xu Jie and said, "Master Xu is very lucky, to have such a good student, I am envious."

"As for Mr. Gao, you and I are getting old, and it's time to abdicate." He said to Gao Gong, but Xu Jie glanced at Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng bowed hurriedly, and humbly said to Xu Jie: "Students send teachers off respectfully."

Xu Jie went to help Zhang Juzheng up with one hand, and patted Zhang Juzheng's arm, "Juzheng, the teacher is getting older, in the future, you should think more about the court and solve the emperor's problems, and in the future, you don't have to come to the mansion Please be safe."

Zhang Juzheng kept bowing his body, Xu Jie's sedan chair had already left the palace gate, Zhang Juzheng slowly straightened his body, the weather was not hot in the early morning, but the court clothes were soaked through.

Staring at the sedan chair in the distance, Zhang Juzheng's eyes became more determined, and there was no turning back when he opened his bow. Now that he has taken this step, there is no chance to turn back.He didn't regret it, the teacher is old, it's time to take care of his life, he said silently in his heart.

Xu Jie has been kind to him, and he has never forgotten that without the cultivation of his teacher, he would not be where he is today, but he is not reconciled, nor is he willing to wait any longer.

Putting the messy thoughts behind him, Zhang Juzheng knew that the Mongolian soldiers' pressure was not easy to solve.Ever since the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolia was driven back to the prairie. Although there has been no incident in the past ten years, he knows that Mongolia is not willing to live in a corner, and its ambition to make a comeback has never faded.

But this time, the matter was not so serious. I Da did not unify the tribes of Mongolia, but only the leader of the right wing, so he dared to take over this matter.As he said, you have to figure out what I really want before you can draw a conclusion.

"Master Zhang, why are you still here?" House Yi came from behind Zhang Juzheng.

"Didn't Eunuch Fang ask the question knowingly?"

"Master Zhang thinks the time is ripe?"

Zhang Juzheng shook his head, "I don't know, but I can't wait any longer, I don't want to wait until I have a gray beard before realizing my ambition."

"Why do you want to hear what your lord thinks about this matter?"

"Actually, the matter is not difficult to solve. The key now is to find Han Naji. As for me, this man is nothing to be afraid of. Although it is an exaggeration to say that there are hundreds of thousands of Chen soldiers, most of them are water. He is fatuous, but he is not a talented person, otherwise the Mongolian tribes would have been unified long ago."

Regarding these, Fang Fangyi really knew very little, so he listened carefully to Zhang Juzheng's explanation.

"With Wang Chonggu in charge, the Mongolian soldiers are nothing to worry about. In fact, all we have to do is think about how to get the most benefits in the future."

Zhang Juzheng talked eloquently, obviously with a well-thought-out plan.

"With Master Zhang's words, my family can feel relieved. I will take care of Hanaji's affairs as soon as possible, and will never delay the matter of my lord. Since the emperor asked my family to assist you, Dongchang will definitely go all out. Help the adults."

"Father-in-law is serious, and there are still many things to rely on in the future." Zhang Juzheng is very aware of his current situation. Xu Jie has already criticized him for what he has done today, and Gao Gong is even more unwilling to trust him. The only thing he can rely on now is Only house Yi has the power.

After the two talked, Fang Yi returned to Dongchang and ordered spies from all over the country to inquire about Han Naji's whereabouts.

After casting Han Naji in Baohu, perhaps because he was afraid that the Ming army would hand him over, he secretly left Baohu at night and hid with his subordinates.

However, don't worry about House Yi, Han Naji is a Mongolian, and he brings his family with him. He is very conspicuous no matter where he goes. It is not difficult to find such a person.
